Another 'impossible port' arrives on Switch, once again engineered by the tech wizards at Saber Interactive. This time, CryEngine 3 gets another run-around on Switch with Kingdom Come Deliverance - a game that struggled with performance even on PS4 and Xbox One systems back in 2018. Six years on, the Switch edition arrives with a surprising number of visual features in tact - while frame-rates are very much what we'd call 'dynamic'.

Kingdom Come Deliverance really surprised me when i played it. I don't like the battle system at all, but at least it's unique and thus something new. But first and foremost, the quest design and the immersion are outstanding. In contrary to what Alex says at the beginning in the video, it's not a fantasy RPG, there are not fantasy elements whatsoever, it's probably the game with the most historically accurate setting. It's set in the 15th century in today's Czech Republic.

Hey DF team- Turns out the sharpening effect around 5:41 is a status effect from drinking alcohol. You can see the "drunk" status symbol on the bottom near the left of the compass during that shot. None of Tom's other shots look that sharpened. Wanted to let you guys know, maybe put an *edit* in the description on YouTube
